Supplier risk
ERWAY’s screening of suppliers for EUDR readiness — plots, documentation and role clarity — as an Article 10 input, not a transfer of operator liability.
What it means
Supplier risk is the platform term for evaluating whether a supplier can support your diligence: geolocation, questionnaires and statement references you can defend.
In the regulation
Operators remain responsible for information about their supply chain. Weak supplier documentation is a risk-assessment input under Article 10, not a hand-off of legal duty.
How ERWAY treats it
Supplier modules and deadline-tracker tips route teams to screening and questionnaires so gaps surface before a DDS is assembled.
